Proper English Trifle

Proper as in it has custard and cream and jelly and cake and fruit and sherry. Lots and lots of sherry :)

For 10-12 portions you need:
1 pack trifle sponges (or left over cake, or sliced up swiss roll)
1 pack veggie jelly crystals
2 cans fruit (I used black currants and raspberries)
1 carton custard
1 large pot double cream
handful flaked almonds
4 tbsp sherry

Begin by placing the trifle sponges in the bottom of a glass bowl and pouring over the drained fruit (reserve a little of the juice) and the sherry. Make up the jelly and pour over the fruit and sherry soaked sponges. Leave to set. Once set, add the custard layer. Whip the cream to soft peaks and layer on to the custard. Top with flaked almonds and play Rule Britannia...
